I had a pretty exciting thing happen in my life… my dream came true of finally owning a commercial-grade machine. I know that seems sort of insignificant in the grand scheme of life, but I’ve been saving up for it all year, and it’s been rough to say the least… Well, I can now say [...]

The mokapot originally sparked my intrigue for coffee-making, and led to my eternal fascination for all of the various brewing methods there are available to experiment with. Really though, I’m very much an espresso type-of-gal… So when I learned that the Aeropress by Aerobi was as close to espresso as you can get (short of [...]

I know that I mention it a lot, but it’s quite difficult documenting fashion with children.. maybe we’re just too nervous about the little things, but our old routines just don’t cut it any more. And more than that, Ayla has been sick so much recently we felt she shouldn’t be taken out this week… [...]

Well, we all know how outrageously expensive those types [...]

The Cafe Latte, a classic Italian coffee drink that is 1 part espresso, 1 part milk and 1 part foam (latte actually meaning “milk” in Italian). I briefly brushed upon making a latte with one of my earlier posts on coffee (with a moka pot). I’d like to start documenting, or rather, sharing my endeavors [...]

I seriously can drink hot coffee just about any time of the day, but an iced coffee really is refreshing in this debilitating heat. The thing is, they are just so darn expensive from any coffee shop… (they really add up fast). So I was bound determined to save myself some money yet again and [...]

If you haven’t noticed the endless references to my abnormal addiction to lattes before, you’ll soon learn that I am obsessed over a good cup of frothed milk and a single shot of espresso… with a bit of caramel and whipped cream on top, and a sweet cake or pumpkin loaf to go with? I’m [...]
